2022-2023 CHL/NCAA/Euro Prospects Thread

In an exhibition game today Vincenz Rohrer and Zurich won 5-1. Playing RW, he didn't have any points but skated on the 1st line with Denis Malgin and Rudolfs Balcers... Yannick Webber was on the 2nd pairing D...

Did he play well overall?

 

[bopeep]

I didn't see the game, just glad that he's getting the opportunity early in the year to play with decent linemates who have played in the NHL. His deployment is going to be a major factor in determining whether the move to the Swiss NL was the right one regarding his development.

Kapanen at 2C for KalPa's first preseason game. They play at 11:30AM ET.



_______

Nurmi at 1LD as HPK also plays their first preseason game @ 8AM ET

Nurmi with an assist as HPK won 4-3 in OT.

And Kapanen gets an assist on the winning goal in a 4-2 victory

 

[Adam Michaels]

Gordin with an empty net goal in a 3-0 win in a preseason game.

He's now playing for Ryazan in the VHL, which is the affiliate of HC Sibir.

 

[Adam Michaels]

It's Nurmi vs. Kapanen right now in a preseason game. HPK is up 5-3 late in the 3rd.

- Kapanen with a goal so far.
- Nurmi with an assist so far.

His second preseason game with Kloten.

Earlier today, Konyushkov had a preseason game. They lost 2-1 but Konyushov, like Reinbacher, was on the top pair.

Looks like he played plenty on the PP and did well. It's nice to see.

 

[bopeep]

Filip Eriksson lined up as 1C as Vaxjo and Linkoping tied 1-1 after one

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Good game, outside of one really bad turnover at the end. He's being used a ton in every situations, which is exactly what he needs.

Thought he looked a lot more comfortable walking the line.. always activating and moving as soon as he makes a play.

Got beat on that 2 on 1, wrong read there but that's fine.. he was aggressive and I know why he did it. It usually works for him.

So he's a first line center in the SHL? Is this regular season?

Preseason and it is SHL players mixed with some of the younger guys in the organization

 

[montreal]

So he's a first line center in the SHL? Is this regular season?

far from it, he will be fighting to make the team, if not he will go back to the J20 most likely.

It's hard to get a read on preseason games, He clearly has work to do so I'm glad it won't be in the NHL or so I hope as another year in the NL should be good for him.

He doesn't play the PK or rarely in any of the games i've seen in the NL, and he's on the 2nd PP or at least he was again in this game.

Yeah it seemed like he looked a bit more comfortable with the puck on his stick I thought.

Hoping to see some more drastic improvements as the season goes along.

- ZSC Lions (Rohrer) are playing a preseason game today @ 1:30PM ET.

- The Q camps should be starting next week. They're having their rookie camps this week. And regular camps start next week.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Some preseason games on the schedule today:

- Konyushkov @ 10AM ET
- Nurmi @ 11:3AM ET
- Kapanen @ 11:30AM ET
- Engstrom @ 2PM ET

KalPa and HPK already provided their line-ups: Kapanen is 2C and Nurm is 2LD. As for Konyushkov and Engstrom, I imagine they will be in the line-up, but with it being preseason, there is a chance they might not be and the coaches use other players to evaluate.

Nurmi's turned into a scoring machine! 3 assists today in a 7 - 4 win

He's definitely a guy who has the potential to produce more. His skating alone is such a weapon, he's smooth as butter when he's carrying the puck up the ice. He just doesn't do it a lot, for whatever reason.

If he can produce even a fraction of that kind of offense, Hameenlinna may want to consider bumping him down to the 2nd pairing more often

Konyushkov with an assist in a 3-2 win today.
